# I ran one new ground wire... (more)

(Re ground on the WRX) posted by Jacob on September 19, 2003 at 13:26:01: I ran one new 8 awg wire from the negative terminal of the battery to the intake manifold to "beef" up the engine block/head (blockhead?) ground. I also temporarily removed all 3 chassis grounds in the engine compartment (left, right, rear), sanded off some paint underneath them and then replaced the grounds and put some paint on them to prevent corosion. It seemed to cleanup the reving around 4-5k rpm. I'm thinking of getting an exhaust and re-flashing the unichip for Stage 1, should be pushing 300 hp then. :) - Matt Replys:
